• CI3 Email ported to CI4
  
• Encryption (basic) added
  
• RESTful controllers added to shorten dev time for RESTful APIs
  
• New messages for Migrations and RESTful
  
  

Check the changelog for details, and the installation writeup for further directions.

Looking to upgrade from CI3 to CI4?

This is our first release candidate! A number of things have been fixed, and it is looking pretty good We need to know what remains in the way of hiccups!

Thank you to the community for stepping up to help make this the best PHP framework!
